Limit bandwidth for Win 10 updates?

I know there are some real pros on here, hopefully someone has knowledge on this topic. Google has failed me. Win 10 consumes all the available bandwidth on my home network for updates (1.5 mbps). So nothing else is functional, can't even browse when updates take over. I run 10 pro on two machines, whatever the latest build is, it's on auto update.

I have tried the fix I found, which are the policy constraints for bandwidth for BITS and WUDO. Neither functions to limit the updates, and I see I'm not the only one to complain of this. Is there no option internally; is add on software for network management the only option?

Many thanks!

you're not alone as a google search on limiting Win10 update bandwidth proved. since MS has decided that their users are too stoopid and must be force fed about all you can do is determine when the updates are applied. check this link to learn how to do that.

another alternative is to turn off the Windows 10 update service. if you do this then no updates will be done. if/when you want to update Win10 just turn the update service back on again. click here to learn how to do that.

maybe MS will listen and revert their updates back to the way they were prior to Win10. yeah, right.
